Fall Events We Love! Capturing The Spirit Of Oakland Halloween Tours

If
you love Halloween, ghost stories, performing arts, and history pay
attention. Capturing
the Spirit of Oakland Halloween Touris
back and is better than ever. Historic Oakland Cemetery receives many
visitors each day, but only at Halloween do the gates stay open after
dark.

Witness the final resting place of Atlanta's sons and daughters
during the "Capturing the Spirit of Oakland: Halloween Tours."
Hear first-hand accounts about the city's past, narrated by a host of
Oakland's eternal "residents," and see candlelit mausoleums
in this one-of-a-kind annual tradition.

Guests are encouraged to
bring a flashlight and wear comfortable walking shoes. Tours meet at
the Bell Tower and last approximately one hour. Guests must purchase
tickets in advance — no tickets will be sold at the gates.

To
ensure all ticket holders are accommodated, tour tickets are sold in
15-minute timed increments, and a limited number of tickets are
available.
